It wasn’t the best experience. It took 30 mins to get anything to drink, 45 mins for the free chips and salsa, our order was wrong (missing meals and meals we didn’t order). They kept bringing us dishes we never ordered after the fact. The burgers were overcooked and the chips over salted. It took 2 hours for a bad and expensive experience but staff were really nice.

It took about 25 minutes for the server to take our order, he did not write anything down and forgot 1 of our meals. When the food arrived, he then blamed the kitchen. The food was poor in quality.

The fire pit experience needs some work, but the servers and food were marvelous. While we were finally able to get warm, we were counting on the fact that the website said that blankets would be available. It was pretty muddy getting to the table and everyone who came to take orders or bring food nearly slipped.

We dined at a fire pit on the Fourth of July so we knew there would be noise and possibly less attentive service and what we experienced was such a pleasant surprise. The music and festivities were louder than usual given the holiday and yet we could all enjoy conversation without the fun of the event being an issue. The firepit service was exceptional as was the food. Mangers were on premises ensuring everyone was happy and we couldn’t have been happier. Wonderful evening!

They overbooked the fire pits for 4th of July, so they just apologized, and gave us a table at the patio. My kids wee disappointed as they were expecting to have the s’mores experience during the fireworks show. The menu was so limited due to the holiday, but nothing to choose from, they only had hamburger, chicken sandwich and two kinds of salads.
